When the women of Wisteria Lane bid their final farewells in May’s series finale, don’t expect to see them return on the big screen a la the “Sex and the City” characters. There will be no “Desperate Housewives” movie, says creator Marc Cherry.

“After eight years? Boy I think we’re done,” Cherry told reporters at the television critics press tour. “I’m just never sending these gals to Dubai. That’s all I’m saying.”

Cherry certainly wasn’t saying how the iconic ABC series will wrap up its soapy run. But he has envisioned the final act ever since the show launched and he hasn’t wavered from it.

“The general premise has always been the same,” he said, but “I’m so not revealing what the end will be. I’m hyper protective about it.”

Cherry appeared at the show’s final press-tour panel accompanied by its main women — Teri Hatcher, Marcia Cross, Felicity Huffman, Eva Longoria and Vanessa Williams. Also in attendance were the guys of Wisteria Lane — Ricardo Antonio Chavira, James Denton and Doug Savant.

Cherry and fellow executive producer, Bob Daily, did say that the show will continue to bring back familiar characters and “echoes of the past” over the final episodes. Cherry also plans to make a cameo appearance in the finale.

“I’m gonna do a Hitchcock,” he said.

During the press conference, the cast reflected on their favorite scenes, special moments and how “Desperate Housewives” made a substantial impact on popular culture in its early seasons.

When asked for her favorite memory, Hatcher recalled Susan’s famous Season 1 nude-in-the-bushes scene that required a crew member to apply duct tape to her breasts and crotch.

“It was one of the most fun, vulnerable, exciting, well-written moments in Susan’s personal journey,” said Hatcher. “I’ll never forget it.”
